Many will say that the times we are living in today are much more violent then in the past. Do you think that statement is true? What makes you say that? Do you read the newspaper or newsfeeds online? Have you ever read a crime novel? What is the craziest criminal you have heard about and describe what the book would be like.

No, I don't think they are as a young black man grown up all my Life. life has always been hard for men's the same skin color as me that's why I say no

i think killing has gotten worse over the years, and also alot more of suicides because a lot of people hate their lives so much more. i happen to be one of them just because i can never give my dad what he expects from me. john wayne gracy killed 27 people and locked them up in his room and undressed them all and put a cloth upon all their mouths and tied them up.

I say it is much more violent then the pass and then again it's not , it's really just our generation of young teens that over weigh the bad from the past , the killing now days are over nothing , killings back then was most likely over something major !

I feel like the crime now is worse then it was in the past because there is alot of pointless killings happening all over nothing though, and to me it is mostly young teens. Crime has gottom worse in the past years why? I feel like that will never be answered.

Yes I would agree with that, because people are getting crazier everyday. We have people out here with low self esteem where they feel it's okay to harm someone with no problem. I feel that people like that should be punished. Killing someone and harming someone else's life doesn't make you a bigger person it's just increasing our crime level.

I do think that crimes are worse now a days. People kill for no reason now. People get killed over shoes, games even a dollar now. Back then it didnt seem to be like that. Of course it was crimes or violence but not as bad as now.

Crime today is worst now than ever because its easier to get weapons and there's many more crimes to do.more laws and our economy is not doing well that also makes crime rates go up

honestly i dont think the times have changed much, because most of the stuff we do as young men and women today our parents have done when they were our age. It is just that people lack of common sense, and are portrayed as ignorant.

I feel that crime was worse in the past. My mom and dad have today my plenty of crazy stories that has happened in the past. The craziest story i have ever heard about was a story about 2 young females were held under there will for 10 years and used as sex slaves. Crime is still crazy today but i just feel crime in the past is worse.

i think that it was bad back in the day but now its much crazier. people is killing others in broad day light. i would rather live back in the day then now because i would be less terrified to live in the past.

I do think that the crime now is worse then the crimes in the past , just for an example Trevor Martin and a couple other kids in the same position he was in that was a bad situation and also a bad crime . Many think it's just crimes in one area but it's crimes everywhere and that's what makes it bad till this day . We should not want to see other parents children's getting killed, we should be able to walk outside without somebody getting shot and killed, we should be able to walk into a school without a student getting bullied , we should be able to walk the side walk in peace so this world can be better as a union .

I feel like crime was worse in the past because in today's age people are just getting shot and killed by bullets. Back in the olden days people had to suffer before there death like getting hung, being held as slaves, sex slaves, and etc. That's why I feel that crime was worse in the past.
